Amazon Prime Now trick: London or West Midlands postcode gets you £10 off £30 spend (eg, £32 FIFA 16)

If you’re buying something from Amazon for £30 or more, until Fri 20 Nov, there’s a smart way you might be able to save £10 by using the Amazon Prime Now app*. It’s available in most (not all) postcodes within the M25 and the West Midlands (see postcode checker* to find out if you’re eligible).

The app lets you choose from thousands of products – including gadgets, toys and games – for free delivery within just two hours of ordering. Not everything Amazon sells is available via the app, but we haven’t found many bestsellers that aren’t.

When Amazon ran a similar deal in September, giving a £20 discount off a £50 spend, it was a big hit with MoneySavers. Unfortunately, anyone who grabbed it last time around won’t be eligible to use it this time. Here’s everything you need to know…

Who can get it?

You must meet allthree of the following criteria:

1. You’re a Prime member or JUST sign up for a free trial. To buy through the app you’ll need Amazon Prime – its premium subscription that gives speedy delivery and other perks. Yet if you’ve got its free trial membership, that counts. So providing you’ve not done that before, sign up* to get 30 days’ Prime membership for free.

2. You can get it delivered somewhere in/near London, Birmingham, Coventry or Wolverhampton. If you live or work in or around one of these cities – or know a lovely person who does – you could be eligible for Prime Now delivery (8am-midnight). Use this postcode checker* to find out if an address is eligible before downloading the app.

3. You’re using the Prime Now app for the first time. Once you’ve downloaded the app (for iPhone, Android and Amazon phones, but not Windows, BlackBerry or tablets) and entered an eligible postcode, use the code PRIMENOW10 at the checkout to get the discount. It won’t work if you’ve ordered via the app before.

Only selected postcodes are eligible for Prime Now delivery. We’ve found both London and the West Midlands are generally well covered, yet it’s a bit of a postcode lottery.

In London, the most central areas (what Londoners might call zones 1 and 2) seem pretty much entirely covered, but further from the centre it’s a bit hit-and-miss. For example, South West London postcodes SW10 and TW10 are eligible, while North London postcodes N3 and NW3 aren’t.

What can I use it on?

Not all items Amazon sells are available for Prime Now delivery, but Amazon says “tens of thousands” are (and we haven’t found many top sellers that aren’t). Search within the app for whatever you’re after – it’ll only show if it’s available via the app.

How this site works

We think it's important you understand the strengths and limitations of the site. We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best MoneySaving guides, tips, tools and techniques, but can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong.

This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service.

We don't as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the Section 75 guide for protection tips).

Do note, while we always aim to give you accurate product info at the point of publication, unfortunately price and terms of products and deals can always be changed by the provider afterwards, so double check first.

We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content.

Always remember anyone can post on the MSE forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.
